Although I'm in the process of (slowly) growing out my hair into an awkward bob, I suffered through the pixie cut trend for four long years. I cut my hair my freshman year of high school after months of begging and begging my grandmother for even a simple trim. I, at first, wanted a bob about three inches above my shoulders, but after looking around Google and Pinterest for inspiration on "short hair", I stumbled upon the cliche Tumblr-esque pixie cuts. Of course I immediately fell in love. But as everyone with a pixie cut can tell you, there are MANY cons to getting this hairstyle.
1. "I liked your long hair better!"
GiphyYou always receive this comment from your acquaintances who think they need to just help you out a little.
2. "I just believe women should have long hair."
GiphyIt usually comes from older men who have given you their unsolicited thoughts on your hair.
3. "You're lucky! It's so much less work to style!"
GiphyMy cabinet full of mousses, hair sprays, hair gels, and my four different hair brushes say otherwise.
4. "Is she a lesbian?"
GiphyUsually only whispered just above earshot. When it's said to you, they're assuming it, not asking. Not that I'm not gay, but maybe don't assume from the hair.
5. "You're sacrificing a lot for a trend, don't you think?"
GiphyNot a trend, I just have personal opinions.
6. "Do you need to speak to the manager?"
GiphyIt's just a haircut. Also, I have too much anxiety to confront someone of authority about anything.
8."You cut your hair AGAIN?"
GiphyEveryone has to cut their hair eventually, even if it's just a trim.
10. "Are you a boy or a girl?"
GiphyNot that it matters to you, but my D-cups would probably answer your question.
As negative as I make short hair seem, cutting all my hair off was the best and most freeing decision I ever made and I wouldn't discourage anyone else from trying it. Even though you'll go through a lot, it's worth being happy with yourself
